The markets are running towards safety

The beloved US dollar topples over the Russian ruble and aims to force the USD/RUB exchange rate’s prices towards its resistance level. It is believed that bullish investors will continue to hold their dominance in the coming days as the US dollar gets more powerful thanks to the woes brought by the recent news about US President Trump. See, the markets are running towards safety as the leader of the world’s biggest economy catches the deadly coronavirus. Looking at it, the Russian markets started this Friday’s trading on a rough footing thanks to the news. This means that not only the Russian ruble but also the main stock market of the country was in shambles. And to make matters worse, the political tensions surrounding Russia isn’t helping the currency’s cause. In fact, it is one of the primary reasons for the ruble’s weak stance in the foreign exchange market. Unfortunately for bears, the crude market can’t help it defend itself this time around.
